That was actually funny and still you got down voted (I up voted you). See what I mean about HN? A bunch of over sensitive whiny bitches. Yes, that was a statement.

God, the whining here is deafening. I didn't call anyone a pre-schooler, I asked if you were all pre-schoolers. Notice the question mark? That means it's a question. Tomorrow we'll cover making statements using the period.

Font look terrible with Chrome on windows, which is why fluid is so hard to pull off.

And here we go, more people blaming a system of private enterprise when government fails them...so the solution must be more government, right? Because the government failed, we must need more of it. Sure, that makes sense. >all liabi

So corruption doesn't happen in communist countries? And communist countries never attempt to meddle in the affairs of others? There was nothing naive about my comment, as much as you made naive assumptions about my comment. My point is: C

Why do you need an app for porn? There are plenty of websites that have a HTML interface specifically for the iPhone...or so I've been told...

False. Capitalism features property rights. Unless the oil company owns all the polluted property, they are liable for the damage to the property of others (at least under a capitalist system). The problem: Nigeria is a corrupt third worl

Google may always be a textbox and button company. If you read their message board for adwords you'll find seriously disgruntled people who've SPENT hundreds of thousands of dollars on advertising and still can't get anyone on the phone.

Is it me, or are there a lot of communist on HN? Such fear and loathing of free markets. Everyone should be equal. We should all get a 5% return. We should cease all activities deemed "non productive" by the state and get back to work in

>"We disagree with their policy because they web should be open and free!" Agreed. That's not the defense I was recommending.

I think we're talking about 2 different things here. Such licensed artwork (images, icons, etc...) that become part of a commercial application are different than same artwork displayed in an application. The first is embedded by the comm

Actions have a consequence despite intent. If you put an RSS feed on the public Internet you made that feed public, despite what your intent was. Saying otherwise, would be like saying that shooting a gun into a crowd and killing someone i

If a paid for RSS reader violates their TOS, then wouldn't a paid for browser (html reader) do the same? If apple is such a leader in the open web, then why don't they try to defend the open web in court instead of rolling over without a fi

Clearly George is doing it wrong, no matter what industry he's in. I've met a few contracters like this. They really want a full time job, but are taking contract positions in the meantime. They just done get how contracting works.

This guy is insane. Why would you solve a problem with more legislation, when it can be solved with legislation already in place or by removing existing legislation. First, we could actually deport Illegals that are already picked up by lo

I'm not a mac user, but I really think this is a great idea. Your website does a good job at informing the visitor about the software and I think the benefit is clear to the right visitors. Good luck.

Amazon payments and google checkout. Google might have the worst customer service around, but their payment system should denie these charges.

Yeah, keep voting this down, that will make the Internet being controlled by the FCC better...somehow.

by clammer 16y ago
I like being right about things, but it's a shame to be right when the Internet has to go completely wrong in order to prove a point. NN was always a bad idea and this step by the FCC was obvious to anyone who saw through the NN BS. I'll n

This article makes a bunch of assumptions. The most important assumption is that they guy who found the phone didn't make a reasonable effort to return it. Just because the phone says "Apple" on the back, doesn't mean Apple owns it. My ph

The question isn't weather Facebook's TOS makes sense, but if violating them is criminal. It should be up to facebook to find and ban violators from their system. TOS is not a contract and, even if it were, a contract dispute is a civil ca

So we're back to web apps vs. desktop apps? An iPad app is installed software running against a native OS API, so I'm not sure why it's singled out when it's just another form factor for a desktop. Browser based software sucks for a few re

>Comcast tried to block bit torrent connections That's exactly the sort of thing that is fine with me. Bit torrent isn't http traffic. Comcast also blocks port 25... It's their network, and I simply go around it anyway. If Comcast does

Read my post. I never said it was the only barrier. Not sure why you put words in my post that weren't there. There really isn't a problem right now with good Internet service. NN solves a problem that doesn't exist, yet wil have long term

Because it creates a more rules for ISPs. The more regulated a market is, the larger barrier to entry which perpetuates the monopoly. Eventually, when smaller upstarts come along, the monopoly points at them and says, "Hey, these guys aren

I'm sorry to say this, but if you just got scammed out of $1,000 then you just got a $1,000 lesson in life. I think it goes without saying, but if you were going to meet to pick up the mac, why not pay cash after you turned it on and made s
